11 isan elevation, partly in section, of the elements shown in Fig. 10.

In the construction of the devices as shown the numeral 10 designates generally a portion of the wall of a building having a window opening 11 and a pocket 12 at one side of and communicating with said open- 'ing. The opening 11 may be adapted for doors, windows or any other purpose and is provided with any suitable frame, preferably having the characteristic elements of a sill 13, a sub-sill 14, an overlay 15, jambs 16 (one of which jambs is slotted to communicate with the pocket 12) and a header 17. Any suitable face casings may be applied to the jambs and header. A track plate 18 is mounted on the sub-sill 14 and is formed with longitudinal grooves or depressed beads 19 from end to end, in this instance three in number, and transverse grooves or depressed beads 20 within the opening 11. The track plate 18 is inclined outwardly relative to the walllO and the rain or melting snow drains outwardly thereon through the transverse grooves 20. The outer marginal portion of the track plate 18 is bent downwardly to form a flange 21' in contact with the outer face of the sub-sill 14. The track plate 18 also is formed with is formed with longitudinal grooves 24: or upwardly-extending beads directly opposite to the grooves or beads 19 of the lower plate. The track plates preferably are made of sheet metal by rolling, pressing or bending. A stop 25 is mounted vertically at the innermost limit of the pocket 12. A casement sash 26, screen frame 27 and storm sash 28 are mounted in parallel planes and spaced relations in the opening 11 and are adapted to slide, selectively or collectively, into the ocket 12' through the slot in the rear jamb.

he slotted jamb and pocket may be located at either side of the opening 11.. The sash and screens may be assorted as desired with doors, shutters, blinds and other members for any desired closure. Each sliding member is provided with spring-pressed studs 29in and projecting from their upper and lower faces into the grooves 24 and 19 respectively and provide means for slidingly engaging said members with said grooves and the track plates containing them. The

' uppermost studs will yield into the member ainst the resilience of the springs there 0 to permit the member to be placed, removed or replaced by movement. through arcs, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3.

Each sliding members is provided with a hinged pull-'rin 30 countersunk in its outer margin and a apted to be engaged by a finger of the operator for the purpose of drawin said member into the opening from i the poo et 12. Each sliding member also is provided with a countersunk latch or lock 31 in its outermost stile, adapted to be operated manually to latch or lock said member to the forward jamb 16. Each latch or look 31 also provides means for manual engagement to move said member rearwardly to a sufiicient distance to permit the hand of the operator to pass beyond it and grasp the stile to move the member into the pocket. The casement sash .26 is formed with a groove 32 in its lower margin adapted to receive the head 22 and prevent passage of snow, rain or dust beneath said sash into a room. The storm sash 28 is formed with a lip 33 on its lower margin, which lip, extends downwardly outside of and in close relation to or contact with the flange 21 to prevent passage of snow, rain or dust beneath said sash into a room. Stops 34 are mounted on the jambs 16 and header 17,

and the overlay 15 follows the same general construction of the stops as follows: Each stop is formed with a rabbet 35 and a strip 3.6 of compressible material, such as felt or india-rubber, is mounted in the rabbet and projects therefrom (Fig. 7)., A binding strip. 37 overlies the strip 36 and bolts or screws 38 are mounted through the stop and strips to secure them together.. The projecting portions of the weather strips 36 are adapted to engage rails and stiles of the sashes, inside the casement sash and outside the storm sash. A strip 39, of suitable material such as felt or rubber, is mounted 011 the rear margin of the screen frame 27 and is adapted (when said frame is in closed position in the opening 11) to engage the adjacent stiles of the sashes and prevent the passage of dust, rain, snow and the like into the pocket 12. A vertical groove 40 is formed in the rear stile or the screen frames 27 in such position that, when said frame is in closed position, said groove will receive and carry downwardly any rain contacting therewith and prevent it passing into the pocket through the space between said stile and the forward stile of the storm sash 28. A parting bead ll is mounted on the forward jamb 16 in such position that the forward stile of the screen frame will abut against it in closed position. The sashes pass, in closed positions, alongside of and in contact with the parting bead l1. The sashes may be glazed in any desired manner and I make no claim for the construction of any of the hardware used in the pulls, spring-studs or latches.

In the constructionshown in Figs. 10 and 11 the spring-pressed studs29 are omitted and concavo-convex studs 29, formed with angular marginal portions, are mounted in the lower rails of the sash and screen frames 26, 27. In the case of the sash 26, the studs 29 have their margins driven into chiselmade slots in and longitudinally of the lower face of the sash, the concavo-convex body of said studs slidingly en aging in the groove formed by ahead 19 o the plate 18. In the case of the screen 27, one marginal portion of the studs 29 overlies the outer face of the bottom rail of said screen while the other marginal ortion is driven into a chiselmade slot in the lower face of said rail. In each instance the studs 29 are held in place by transverse brads driven through them and their seats. The lip 33 also is formed "on the sash 26 in this instance since said sash 1s the outermost member in the arrangement duced between the slots in the rear jamb,

each of said stops and parting bead being formed with beveled margins adjacent the sliding members 26, 27 and strips 36' of compressible material, such as felt, are mounted on the rear margins of said sliding members and are adapted, when said members are in closed positions in the opening 11, to be dra wn into contact and sealing relat on with said beveled margins. Grooved strips 4:2 (one of which is shown in Fig. 10) are mounted above and below the upper and lower ends of the sliding members and conmeet the parting bead 41 to the stop-25 and the rear faceof the parting head 41 also is grooved vertlcally. A-plate 43 (preferably of wall-board) is mounted in the grooves of the strips 42 and parting head 41* and abuts L each other.

I do not desire to be limited to the exact construction shown and described, as the same may be modified in various particulars without departing from my invention.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a window having a sill formed with parallel combination with said sill of a metal plate formed with parallel beads ada ted to be received in said grooves and a so formed with a flange adapted to inclose an edge of said sill.

2. In a window having a sill formed with parallel grooves and provided with a metal plate formed with parallel beads adapted to be received in said grooves, said window also being provided with laterally movable members arranged parallel with each other and above and spaced from said sill, the combinagrooves in its upper surface, the

tion with said plate of engaging members on said movable members adapted to slide in said beads.

3. In a window having a sill-formed with parallel grooves and provided with a metal plate formed with parallel beads adapted to be received in said grooves, said window also being provided with laterally-movable members arranged parallel with each other and above and spaced from said sill, the combination with said plate of engaging members on said movable members adapted to slide in said beads, one of the movable members being formed with a groove in its bottom and the metal plate being formed with a flange adapted to enter and have sliding engagement with said groove.
